In certain ways, songwriter Keller Williams appears to be anti-social. Instead of forming a band with friends, he instead prefers a digital looping machine (Boss Loop Station RC-300), which allows him to play a lick for a few measures and then play it back while playing another part live over the top.

The way Williams puts it all together is very creative and clever, and he's been a hit on the jam band circuit for years. With his looper and an acoustic guitar, he melds folk, reggae, bluegrass, jazz electronica/dance and alternative rock in a way that's uniquely his own.

Opening this hippie friendly night will be Floodwood, with Al Schnier and Vinnie Amico (the guitar and drums from Moe.), Jason Barady (mandolin), Nick Piccininni (violin, banjo) and Zachary Fleitz (bass), who have been together merely a year, but have been making a big impression wherever they go with their high-powered new-grass sound.
